I suppose I should admit to a bit of bias after all I am an Arsenal fan. A few weeks ago Thierry Henry, an Arsenal icon who currently plies his trade at Barcelona, hand balled in the penalty box. In doing so he put France into the world cup and received worldwide disapprobation. He was widely decried as being a cheat and was to be sentenced immediately to hell for being worse than a child molester.

Gillette, the razor company, panicked and dropped Henry from their clean cut sporting legends roster that comprised of Tiger Woods, Roger Federer and Thierry Henry. Apparently a cheat like Henry did not meet the standards that Gillette was trying to promote.

Flash forward a few weeks to the incident of the fire hydrant and the tree. It is being revealed that Tiger Woods sees in himself a cross between Gene Simmons and Wilt Chamberlain. However there has been no immediate reaction by Gillette saying that Mr. Woods did not meet the standards that Gillette was trying to promote.

Such blatant hypocrisy should be expected from corporations. After all, Ludacris was fired as Pepsi spokesman for being too risque... he was replaced by the Osbornes.

Ludacris sued Pepsi and though he did not get his contract back, he got them to donate to charity. I think Henry may not be able to do the same thing (after all he did cheat) but something should be done to make the world aware of the hypocrisy of Gillette.

I won't hold my breath though. Laters.
